Nominations accepted for 'Coach of the year' award

The seventh annual Coaches for Kids fundraiser will be from 5:30 to 9 p.m. April 2 at the Iowa City downtown Sheraton hotel. All funds go directly to support Children of Promise programs in the community.

Gary Dolphin will emcee, 2012 Miss America Laura Kaeppeler will be the keynote speaker, with live and silent auctions.

The banquet will also feature the "Coach of the Year Award", presented to recognize the important role coaches play in providing much needed positive mentoring to youth, particularly youth facing challenging circumstances.

The top three nominees will be announced in March, and the award will be presented to the winner by Iowa football coach, Kirk Ferentz. Nominations can be made by community members for a high school or assistant coach within the Linn, Johnson or Jones county area. The winner will receive a plaque and a $500.00 cash award for their school/booster club in their name.

Nominations are due March 1.
